@funbaker@chaos.social you're either not seeing the big picture or your choosing not to so I'll spell it out.
This isn't about HIS SPECIFIC "question," or anyones specific question, to you or anyone in particular.
This is about the TENDENCY of Linux people to respond obnoxiously to ANY beginner questions (or in your case, the IDEA of any beginner question) with hostility & pedantry.
That's literally what OP was about, & all it was about. & thats what almost all the comments have been about.
@itsmeholland yeah. no. this particular case was different.
ask me any beginner question. but don't expect a timeframe or smth like that to answer.
